Chapter 731: The Unique Blue Crystal
Chapter 731: The Unique Blue Crystal
Little Tian stared at the dragon soul wood, which seemed to come to life, and a look of understanding crossed her face.
No wonder there's been no reaction at all when I tried to channel my spiritual energy into it these past few days. It turns out I needed to recite a spell!
Cindy Doppler explained at the right moment, "You can craft this piece of dragon soul wood into a shortbow.
When you're not using it, you can store some of your spiritual energy in the bow. When you need it, you can channel the energy into an arrow and shoot it, achieving an effect comparable to a mage's spells.
Melee classes can't use dragon soul wood because it's too brittle and can't withstand the intense impact of combat. However, making it into a shortbow avoids these issues."
Little Tian nodded, "Oh, I see."
The characteristics of the dragon soul wood reminded her of her innate skill—Piercing Arrow.
(Piercing Arrow (Rare): Fires a powerful arrow, dealing 500% true damage to the target. Cooldown: 12 hours.)
Combining Piercing Arrow with the properties of the dragon soul wood could become her ultimate trump card!
Now, the only remaining question was how to craft the dragon soul wood into a suitable shortbow.
Cindy Doppler seemed to guess Little Tian's thoughts and smiled, "You can take this piece of dragon soul wood back and have your skilled alchemists craft it into a shortbow.
Or, if you trust me, you can leave the wood with me, and I'll contact a top bowmaker to create it for you.
The choice is yours."
"Hmm..." Little Tian fell into thought.
After a moment of contemplation, she made her decision.
"I'll take it back to Blue Star and have our master alchemists handle it," she said to Cindy Doppler.
"Alright, I respect your decision."
"It's not that I don't trust you," Little Tian added. "The main reason is that if you find a top craftsman to make the bow, that craftsman will know about its existence.
If I use the bow before the final battle, the craftsman will know it has fallen into the hands of Blue Star, exposing our cooperation.
To keep our collaboration a secret, I have to do it this way."
"Oh, I see. I should have considered that," Cindy Doppler admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed. He hadn't thought it through that far.
...
With the discussion about the dragon soul wood concluded, Little Tian felt it was time to move on to the next topic.
She took out a small, pale blue, cube-shaped crystal from her spatial ring and gently placed it on the table. "Chairman, could you help me identify this? I found it according to a treasure map, but it's not from the same map as the dragon soul wood."
"Wait, what?! You found two treasures?" Cindy Doppler's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the crystal on the table.
The 3D map came with a total of 13 treasure maps, each with a history of at least 50 years.
Over the past 50 years, tens of thousands of Skrulls have tried to find the treasures marked on these maps, but none have succeeded, not even a single clue.
Little Tian, a young girl from Blue Star, had entered the Wild Continent for less than 7 days—more accurately, just over 6 days—and had miraculously discovered two treasures! What kind of incredible luck was this?!
No, that's not right!
By this point, it was no longer a matter of luck.
Even if Little Tian's luck was extraordinary, it couldn't possibly surpass the combined luck of hundreds of thousands of Skrull experts, could it?
"Could it be? These thirteen treasures can only be found by the people of Blue Star? Anyone with Skrull blood can't find them? Hmm, that's a reasonable explanation."
Cindy Doppler fell into deep thought.
However, she didn't dwell on it for long and decided to put the idea aside for now.
While this could explain the situation, there was no evidence to support it yet. She would try to gather some evidence in the future before drawing any conclusions.
For now, she needed to focus on the task at hand.
Cindy Doppler turned her attention to the pale blue crystal that Little Tian had handed her.
...
The crystal itself didn't seem particularly special. It was pale blue, transparent, and free of any impurities, resembling a well-cut sapphire. Of course, this crystal was far more transparent and pure than any sapphire.
"Wait a moment, what is this?"
Cindy Doppler suddenly noticed a tiny engraving on one corner of the crystal. If she hadn't been so observant, she might have missed it entirely!
"This is... No way!"
When she saw the specific shape of the engraving, her face tensed as if she had been startled.
Little Tian, noticing the sudden change in Cindy Doppler's expression, quickly asked, "What is it? It must be some kind of treasure, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed a treasure, and a significant one at that!" Cindy Doppler couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from her forehead; her back was already drenched.
"Significant treasure? What exactly is it?" Little Tian's curiosity was piqued.
"Actually... I don't know."
"Excuse me? You don't know?"
"Yes, I really don't know." Cindy Doppler handed the pale blue crystal back to Little Tian with a bitter smile and explained, "Look at the upper right corner of the crystal. Do you see the tiny engraving there?"
"Um, yes, I see it." Little Tian nodded.
Right where Cindy Doppler had indicated, there was indeed an engraving, etched with strange patterns that Little Tian couldn't recognize.
"This is the emblem of a school from the Silver Saint Race, specifically the renowned 'Silver Saint Secret Academy.'"
"So, this crystal, whose origin is unknown, is most likely from the Silver Saint Secret Academy! My knowledge of this crystal is limited to that, and I don't know anything else."
"From the Silver Saint Secret Academy..." Little Tian carefully examined the crystal, focusing on the tiny engraving.
She knew very little about this secret academy, having learned a bit from Su Yu.
The "handle of the Sword of Myriad Admonishments" in Chancellor Cao's possession came from the secret academy's "credit blind box." Just that handle alone had allowed him to dominate two planets, showcasing the terrifying power of the Silver Saint Secret Academy.
"Then, I'll take the crystal back to Blue Star," Little Tian finally said. "I'll have Su Yu ask the War Monitor; maybe he knows the answer."
"Right, you can still communicate with the War Monitor," Cindy Doppler nodded.
What had impressed her most about Su Yu was that he had managed to have the War Monitor, a highly respected figure, deliver medicine to Skrull Star.
The War Monitor could be swayed? From her perspective, it was an incomprehensible feat.
Given his vast influence, he should be able to figure out what this crystal is.
